LET us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherised upon a table....
- T.S. Eliot, Love Song of Alfred Prufrock.
"Let us you and I" is incorrect. "you and I" here is an appositive, so it should be "Let us, you and I." You and I serve to explain "us."
Let’s you and me/I
LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky

- T.S. Eliot, Love Song of Alfred Prufrock.
